The Return of In Loco Parentis: Cornell Students Accost President Garrett for Not Comforting Them

During a meeting between students and Cornell President Elizabeth Garrett and Vice President Ryan Lombardi at the Ujamaa residence hall on Tuesday, students accosted Garrett and the administration for not publicly supporting the student protests at other campuses across the country, the Cornell Sun reported.

“This week you spoke in solidarity with the people of France, a country all the way across the Atlantic ocean, yet here in the United States you couldn’t stand in solidarity,” a student said according to the Cornell Sun.

Garrett responded saying she prefers not to make many presidential statements and would rather work directly with students. There was no mention of whether Garrett told the students a former Cornell student died in the Paris attacks (but perhaps that omission was a smart move.)

Additionally, students who were part of Cornell’s delegation to the 10th Annual Latinx Ivy League Conference at Brown University last weekend, during which there was a physical altercation between a Dartmouth delegate and a campus safety officer, criticized Garrett for not releasing a statement about the incident.
